The latest hot device from HTC, the Touch Pro2 which we recently reviewed is starting to pop up in the business section of Orange and Vodafone sites. Normally it doesn’t take too long before it appears in the consumer side of things
You can fine all the information below for both networks.
O2 today announced that Apple’s new iPhone OS 3.0 software is now available through iTunes. This new software is free to all existing iPhone customers, offering over 100 new features. For iPhone 3G customers this includes the much anticipated MMS and also internet tethering (using your iPhone as a modem – available from 19 June).
Apple’s new iPhone 3G S handset will go on general sale from 8.02am on Friday 19 June in O2, Apple and Carphone Warehouse retail stores*.
The iPhone 3G S will be available from free on a variety of 18 and 24 month Pay Monthly tariffs with unlimited UK web browsing** on the O2 network and Wi-Fi. It will also be available on Pay & Go with unlimited UK web browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months, allowing customers to take advantage of the latest iPhone device.
2G iPhone customer can still take advantage of the iPhone OS 3.0 software updated, however some features like MMS and Internet Tethering are not available.
“The iPhone continues to be a phenomenal device with over a million O2 customers owning one. The combination of the new software update available to all and the new range of iPhone 3G S devices allows us to continue to differentiate O2 in the marketplace.” said Ronan Dunne, CEO of O2 in the UK. “
If you update your iPhone 3G to iPhone OS 3.0 or if you have iPhone 3GS then you have new feature: MMS aka "Multimedia Messaging Service". What’s that?
Here is the list of new features – as provided by Apple in the upgrade information box:
As announced yesterday, Dev Team member MuscleNerd did a demo of UltraSn0w, the new software unlock for the iPhone 3G (skip to 2.20 min on the video after the break). Unlike its predecessor YellowSn0w, UltraSn0w will unlock your iPhone 3G no matter what firmware, bootloader or baseband you have, as long as you have the new 3.0 firmware installed.
The actual program that UltraSn0w injects into the baseband to accomplish the unlock is the exact same one the Dev Team developed for YellowSn0w. What changed is that the Dev Team found a new “hole” to inject the unlocking payload.
A couple of videos have been posted of the new iPhone 3G S. Not much longer to wait till Friday but if you really need to see how the phone performs with the increased RAM and Processor power or the finger print proof finish on the screen check out the two videos after the break.

The Carphone Warehouse is offering cut price upgrades to the new iPhone 3G S by letting you trade in your old model.
The shop will let you trade in an iPhone 2G for £100, and if you’ve got a newer iPhone 3G the 8GB version will earn you £170 the larger 16GB version will get you £180.
Users would still need to pay up to 18 months of their deal to get their hands on the new phone, which can cost up to £275, so the maximum cost would spiral well over £1,000 just to be among the first to have the new phone.
Not a bad deal if you don’t want the hassle of wheeling and dealing but a quick search on Google and we came up with a service called Mazuma which will give you £180.00 for the 8 Gig and £200.00 for the 16 Gig all done by post.
